Last night I installed Fedora 10 (actually, I had it on my
VirtualBox, but this time I wanted it on the disk), so that was a
perfect time to test
NetworkManager.
I like when they said: "
The most important pieces of
NetworkManager are desktop-environment and distribution
agnostic": gives me some neat ideas :D
Anyway, in my case, I have a wireless card that needed to be
connected via xDSL. Nothing complicated, but...
I'm not sure was it fault due NetworkManager or GNOME's
fronted, but I couldn't make it to see wireless card in "
Hardware Device" tab;
strange, since the card was regularly recognized in main hardware
section.
So, after some searching (and more searching), I found out
how NetworkManager is still a young project, with a plenty of time
for improvements :). That send me to the good old terminal and "
pppoe-setup".
NetworkManager sux (or not)
